Jacob (J.B.) Fishman

Overview
Jacob (J.B.) Fishman represents clients using all forms of dispute resolution to achieve desirable outcomes. Prior to entering private practice, he externed with a federal magistrate judge and interned with a state district judge, gaining valuable insights which further enhance his ability to advocate for clients.
His early career is marked by several impressive achievements, including representing clients as chief counsel in the Southern Methodist University (SMU) Civil Litigation Clinic, where he became the first-ever student to be named a fellow of the clinic while still in school. J.B. achieved great results for his clients – including one of the largest settlements ever awarded to an SMU Clinic client – earning a spot on SMU’s Pro Bono Honor Roll for his work serving Dallas’ underrepresented communities.
Additionally, J.B. was one of only ten law students inducted into the National Order of Barristers for his effectiveness as an advocate while at SMU. He excelled in the courtroom, winning SMU’s mock trial competition in 2023, and was a finalist in the school’s arbitration competition. J.B. was also a staff editor for the International Law Review and a research assistant for two different professors.
